Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This research presents the results of a study of the photograft copolymerization of functional monomers of methacrylic acid (MAA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and the following formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes with poly(allylamine) onto track-etched membranes based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET TeMs) with a pore diameter of 300 ± 20 nm.The effect of various parameters and conditions on the efficiency of the grafting process has been studied: irradiation time, monomer concentration, and the effect of the nature of the solvent has been considered.Modified membranes were characterized by advanced physical and chemical methods: FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, contact angle, thermogravimetry and gas permeability.Using magnetron sputtering, electrodes based on modified membranes were obtained.The sensor has been tested in the detection of cadmium and lead cations in the concentration range from 0.05 to 4.25, 6.25 mg/L.
